I don't normally shop Total Pet, I was looking for some floss and found the 1/2 price rock. It's covered with those star looking plant things (can you tell I'm new) and thought it was a good deal. Turned out it was! Yes, my tang went missing in the night as did one of my chromis the next night. No sign of anything in the AM. I have set traps 2 nights in a row (raw mussels in tupperware) to see if I could catch anything. Got up at 3AM this morning and only my hermit crabs were in the trap. Any idea's? My water is fine, the fish weren't sick, just poof, disappeared.

sounds like a zoo rock.

if you know what your getting TP is ok... to get from, just dont ever rely on anyone there for advice on what fish is compatible with your reef. As they dont know what fish is what in their tanks.

be careful what you put in your tank from total pet. they are not the best tank keepers around. and they are the highest priced i have ever seen.

i saw a cleaner shrimp for $72.00 there once. :S

Something ate your regal tang? ouch that sucks.
any congrats again on the new addition.


Ya, holy wow they have some steep prices, and they ALWAYS have ich. I don't know why they bother with the saltwater there.

Likely it is a Mantis Shrimp, but possibly a fairly big crab. You would be surprised the size of some of the creatures that may be in your tank that you have never seen. I know of a 5" crab that went unseen in a 180 gallon tank for 2 years! Now they can't get it out. Haha!

Any idea's how I can catch the sucker?? I can't put anymore fish in the death trap.
